I think people get a bit too persuaded by his physique. He looks the the prototypical modern day footballer, but really he hasn’t shown anything of significance yet. He has only played 23 games, so still has plenty of time, but what is his special power?

You’re kidding aren’t you? What on EARTH were you watching?! He was shocking. Putrid!!!

From his 8 touches he had two direct turnovers that cost us goals, he had one ordinary golf chip kick inside 50 that went the length of the ground and cost us a goal and also kicked a set shot at 3QT out on the full. He had less score involvements than Hartley FFS and gained the least meters (68) from any player in our 22!!!
Would rather an unfit Francis any day than that CRAP.

I guess there is a fair point to be made in distinguishing ‘played poorly’ and ‘won’t make it’ as a player. Clearly he is producing some ordinary football at the moment and that needs to be acknowledged. The fact is though that he remains a really good prospect given the context of his season and progress with such limited football.

Begley in two games already has several high quality AFL skill sets.

There’s about 20 odd posters on here suffering from this, they also refer to some sort of amazing potential Lav once showed in his past to deserve the hype and make ridiculous excuses like he’ll come good once we carry him for another season? The delusion is strong with this one

I’ve been on the hype train since before recruitment… I’ve peddled the injury excuses, the poor San excuses, the development excuses, the saga excuses… u name it I’ve used it… but fmd I just can’t defend that effort today. Pure spudness and doesn’t deserve the finals spot. Both he and Lang have really disappointed thus far.
